The Evolution of VR Technologies in the Art Market: from the Victorian Era to the Present Day

The Evolution of VR Technologies in the Art Market: from the Victorian Era to the Present Day. The pioneers of VR technologies can be traced back as far as the Victorian era. The Louvre plans to open its first VR exhibit this fall to allow global audiences (at least those owning a VR headset and with a digital subscription service) to “access the Mona Lisa in virtual space, seeing the work in detail from anywhere in the world” says VIVE Arts director Victoria Chang. Sky released a VR App in collaboration with David Attenborough that lets users explore the hidden parts of London’s Natural History Museum.
